Canadian specialist Rocky Mountaineer has appointed former Cadogan Holidays head of sales Craig Upshall as business development manager.

Upshall, who has also worked at American Airlines, Island Cruises and Royal Caribbean, will help grow business in the cruise and meetings and conference markets.

The operator, which specialises in luxury rail travel across Canada, claims Upshall will also increase trade across the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

"He joins us at an exciting time as Rocky Mountaineer continues to strengthen its ties with both the cruise and MICE markets," said Leslie Peden, Rocky Mountaineer’s director of sales EMEA.
